Don't you have to be sent an activation code or something to sign up?
Oops, you're right.

Seriously? How do you work that out?
So let's put the MGS2 system into GZ and a soldier sees you:-
Why can't you just knock them out? If they are close enough, you have time to knock them out. This is not a locked off camera and a FPS mode that roots you to the ground. And what if you can't see the enemy? How do you chase after someone if you can't see them? They will set off the alert regardless.
"In MGS2 and MGS3...". GZ isn't MGS2 or 3. That's why it wouldn't work. The system was designed for enemies with short range vision. GZ doesn't have that. The enemy can come from any direction and spot you before you know where they are. So if they are too far away, what can the player do? They can't attack the enemy, first they need to know where they are, second they need to reach them or third they need to hit a moving target running away (if they haven't already and are hidden).
So what you end up with is an enemy that is easily dispatched at close range and an enemy that is too far away and/or in the wrong direction.
The solution is to show the player where the enemy is and give them the time to deal with that enemy.
Those occasions don't break the game.
I said nothing about shooting out radios.
On the related subject of instant alerts. They shout out "Contact!" as they should, alerting nearby enemies. I see nothing wrong with that. The fact that the whole base is alerted is illogical, but completely irrelevant unless those soldiers move at the speed of light and you just don't move. The people in ears shot of "Contact!" are the ones you want to be worried about, not those who will arrive after you're long gone...if the alert isn't already long gone. And even if they did, it's still not the spawning-enemies-through-the-nearest-door level of cheating in MGS2.
Reflex Mode was implemented after Kojima realized the game was too hard, the game wasn't built around it.
I didn't see this posted earlier and if it was already I apologize but there is an artbook that will be going on sale for western release that is separate and different from the one in the Japanese CE.

She looks totally fine otherwise but its like they took the arms off something else and plugged them on her and also made her shoulders the size of her head

She was very brave to go for an off the shoulder number after being shot in both shoulders. It was a hell of a concealment job

Naw. I like being here on GAF. It's not a complaint, I just know a lot of the peeps here are over there.
I don't think that's the premium one.
That's a fan made arm. CE is not wearable.

Wow that Motherbase paint color is boss, might even be cooler than the (default?) orange.
Also cool to see the logo on the chopper, as well as (what appears to be) customizable armaments.

So glad the chopper and mother base pics are back. It makes the long wait slightly more bearable.
Mother Base looks so good in white.
Ya'll already know my motherbase is gonna be pink - Mountbatten pink, to be exact. That shit's tactical, yo.
Hayter confirmed to be Solid Snake in MGSV.

I had a sneaking suspicion all those photos and papers wouldn't pop in until you were onboard the chopper.

Looks like he's doing The Long Dark right now, a television mini series called World War III as a writer, imdb claims he is writing and directing Marvel's Black Widow... but that can't be true, right?
Edit: Appears he was attached to a project in early 2000's that got dismissed.
